"content": "The only way the Government can be provoked into providing services, which include water and pans and boreholes, is through a Motion on insurance like this one. Once the Government knows it has to restock animals for us in case of drought and when our animals die, it will ensure that there is enough water and pasture. The only way the Government can be provoked into providing services, which include water, pans and drilling boreholes is this Motion on insurance. Once the Government gets to know that they have to re-stock livestock in case of drought as animals die, that is when they will move in and ensure that there is enough water and pasture. We have discussed about subsidies to the farmers. There have not been any subsidies to the livestock farmers. So, this is the time that the livestock farmer will, at least, get subsidies so long as we put that particular requirement for the Government to insure the animals. That is because it will ensure that there is enough fodder at affordable price for livestock farmers. Some of my colleagues have talked about insurance being an expensive facility. Insurance is not an expensive facility, if the Government takes it responsibility seriously. One of the responsibilities that the Government has to take seriously is the issue of extension officers within the livestock farming areas."
